(Intro)
Yeah
Mmm
Central vibes, you know?
Still the same, just colder
Let’s go
---
(Chorus)
Cold nights, I was out tryna find my way
Heart got broke, had to hide my pain
They don't know 'bout the price I paid
Seen man fold when the light turned grey
No trust, just smoke in the ride I take
Eyes on me, but I'm wide awake
Still feel low when I’m high all day
Still got dreams I don't dare to say
---
(Verse 1)
Back then man slept on floors
Now it’s flights and foreign doors
Still got pain I ignore
Still got bros that I pray for more
Mum said “son, don’t die in the street”
But I still kept ties with the ones in war
Talk 'bout love, but I’ve seen that flip
Real ones die while the fake ones tour
Can’t lie, I was down to bits
Had no handouts, no assist
Just me and my thoughts, that’s it
Too many L’s, had to make that switch
Now I move cold, can’t show no glitch
They move sly with a smile and pitch
I move smart, can’t die for drip
And I still thank God that I never did slip
---
(Chorus)
Cold nights, I was out tryna find my way
Heart got broke, had to hide my pain
They don't know 'bout the price I paid
Seen man fold when the light turned grey
No trust, just smoke in the ride I take
Eyes on me, but I'm wide awake
Still feel low when I’m high all day
Still got dreams I don't dare to say
---
(Verse 2)
I don’t flex much, I just build
Still got time for the fam, that’s real
Still got hate that I hold inside
But I drop that weight when I rap and heal
You see chains, but you don’t see meals
You see likes, but you don’t see feels
They post more, but they live less
Me? I’d rather make peace than deals
She wanna vibe but she don’t know C
Just sees views, don’t know what’s me
Talks 'bout trust, but I don’t trust easy
Seen love fade like a sky in bleak
I don’t speak much, I just clock
Grew from pain, but I still got blocks
Hit from life, but I still won’t stop
They switched sides, but I still got spots
---
(Bridge)
Pad on loop and the pain comes back
Guitar crying while I ride this track
808 slide like a tear on glass
I don’t forget what the real ones had
Bro did time and he came back calm
Said “don’t lose peace for the sake of a charm”
I stay grounded, pain in my palms
Heart’s on edge but I move with calm
---
(Chorus)
Cold nights, I was out tryna find my way
Heart got broke, had to hide my pain
They don't know 'bout the price I paid
Seen man fold when the light turned grey
No trust, just smoke in the ride I take
Eyes on me, but I'm wide awake
Still feel low when I’m high all day
Still got dreams I don't dare to say
---
(Outro)
Still the same from the start, just wiser
Still got pain in the bars I cipher
Still thank God I ain't under the ground
Still one call if my bro says "timer"
Whole life in a 16 bar
Cold nights turned me to who I are
Still got scars but I made that art
And I still go hard with a frozen heart
